Overview: OT Splendeurs et misères des courtisansOA 1838–47 DE 1845 Form Roman Epoche RealismusIn Glanz und Elend der Kurtisanen, der Fortsetzung des Romans Verlorene Illusionen, zeigt Balzac die Konventionen der zeitgenössischen Gesellschaftsschichten am deutlichsten. Zugleich übt er scharfe Kritik am aufstrebenden Bürgertum. Rund 13 Jahre arbeitete Balzac an dem Roman. Die ersten Notizen reichen bis ins Jahr 1835 zurück, die geplante Fortführung blieb jedoch unvollendet.Inhalt: Der nach Paris zurückgekehrte Lucien de Rubempré gewinnt das Vertrauen der Gesellschaft, verkehrt in den höheren Kreisen und beabsichtigt, Clothilde von Grandlieu zu heiraten. In diesem Fall könnte er einen Posten als Botschafter bekleiden und den Titel eines Marquis tragen. Anstifter dieses Glücks ist Jacques Collin alias Carlos Herrera, angeblich ein spanischer Abbé, tatsächlich jedoch ein Krimineller, der sich auch der Namen Vautrin und Trompe-la-Mort bedient. Mit ihm hatte Lucien einst einen Bund geschlossen, in dem er für die Erfüllung all seiner Träume seine Seele verpfändete. Der Baron von Nucingen, ein vermögender Bankier aus Paris, verliebt sich in die Kurtisane Esther, die jedoch ein Verhältnis mit Lucien unterhält. Collin nutzt diese Konstellationen, um Nucingen zu erpressen, da Lucien für seine Heirat mit Clothilde Geld benötigt. Die Geheimpolizei entdeckt das Komplott der Verschwörer und Lucien verübt Selbstmord. Die Kurtisane, die von Nucingen ein Palais geschenkt bekam, zerbricht daran, wieder ihr früheres Leben führen zu müssen, und vergiftet sich. Als Collin vom Tod Luciens erfährt, stellt er sich in den Dienst der Justiz, um den Kampf gegen die korrupte Gesellschaft voranzutreiben. Er überführt den Chef der Sicherheitspolizei eines Verbrechens und wird dessen Nachfolger. Wirkung: Glanz und Elend der Kurtisanen porträtiert eingehend den Verfall der Gesellschaft und macht Balzacs Welt- und Menschenbild deutlich: Mit seiner detaillierten Schilderung der Pariser Unterwelt gelingt Balzac eine soziologische Studie über kleine und große Kriminelle sowie die Methoden von Polizei und Justiz. Der Roman lebt von zahlreichen, oft abrupten Umbrüchen: Glück / Unglück, Hoffnung/ Enttäuschung, Liebe / Gewalt. Theodor W. R Adorno erkannte das Prinzip, dass sich bei Balzac oftmals die Bürger als die eigentlichen Verbrecher herausstellen, während die Verfemten humaner gesinnt sind, »fähig zur großen Passion und zur Selbstaufopferung«. C. V. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
